Quick n Easy Vietnamese hot and sour soup

Hey guys i love vietnamese hot and sour soup, but it can be time consuming to make. So i was thinking of how i could make it easier but with the same flavour! So here is my quick and easy version of the recipe.


Ingredients:

6 cups chicken stock

2 cans of diced tomatoes

1/4 cup fish sauce

1/3 cup lime juice

1 can of mushrooms or you can use fresh or dried mushrooms i use dried

Salt and Pepper

1 bag of small shrimp de-veined and peeled.

3 green onions cut for garnish

Directions:

1) In large pot add all ingredients but shrimp

2) bring to boil then simmer for 10 mins. Then add shrimp and cook till shrimp turn pink
If using dried mushrooms do not add shrimp till mushrooms become soft.

3) Pour into bowl and serve garnish with green onion

option: if i have left over rice i simply place some in a bowl then ladle soup over top and eat it that way. Good way to get rid of left over rice!!
